The total iron-binding capacity of the cells is normal to decreased.

It is the ratio of serum iron and total iron-binding capacity.

For an explanation of some clinical situations in which this ratio is important, see Total iron-binding capacity.

Levels of the iron-binding protein ferritin may be elevated with this disorder.

Aromatic iron-binding compounds were found and their biosynthetic pathways studied.

Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein that belongs to the transferrin family.

This paper reviews our current knowledge of the structure and function of the iron-binding protein lactoferrin.

One test measures an iron-binding molecule called lactoferrin.

Frataxin is an iron-binding protein responsible for forming iron-sulphur clusters.

Iron-binding proteins bind iron tightly which make it unavailable for microbial use, limiting growth.

These mutations result in decreased iron-binding ability.

Transferrin and lactoferrin, two mammalian iron-binding proteins that control iron levels in mammals.

Transferrins are iron-binding blood plasma glycoproteins that control the level of free iron in biological fluids.

Iron-binding proteins are carrier proteins and metalloproteins which play many important roles in metabolism.

Through the addition of the iron-binding functional groups of siderophores into antibiotics, their potency has been greatly increased.

Colostrum also contains lactoferrin, an iron-binding protein that helps the body fight micro-organisms by depriving them of iron.

Transferrin is present in the serum at approximately 30 μM, and contains two iron-binding sites, each with an extremely high affinity for iron.

Particularly important is the ability to sequester iron, which is the function of iron-binding proteins such as transferrin and ferritin.

Four iron-binding proteins are Hemoglobin, Ferritin, lactoferrin and transferrin.

For instance, a value of 15% means that 15% of iron-binding sites of transferrin are being occupied by iron.

Leukocytes migrate to sites of inflammation and degranulate, releasing large quantities of iron-binding lactoferrin.

Key words: lactoferrin, lactoferricin, glycosylation, iron-binding, osteoblasts, osteoclasts.

Key words: outer membrane protein, iron-binding protein, lactoferrin, receptor, iron, transport, specificity.

The team investigated the adhesion of several iron-binding adhesive molecules and a few key synthetic analogs by determining how they stick to mica.

A Gram-negative bacterium secretes iron-binding proteins called siderophores, which bind strongly to ferric ions.
